This arachno-hub seems to come alive with Spidey-speak, light-up eyes, and many cool corners to play in for loads of Webtacular fun!

Wield the power of the Infinity Stones and imagine saving the entire universe with just a snap of your fingers. At 18 inches tall, this electronic fist features flexible finger articulation, lights, and sounds, including movie-inspired Snap! and 6 removable light-up Infinity Stones.

Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, and Hulk figures fight in battles to protect the universe—and you can, too!

For the aspiring Jedi:

• Board games don’t get much more classic than Monopoly, right? Well, this Star Wars edition, Monopoly: Star Wars The Child, Board Game is inspired by “The Mandalorian” on Disney+ and it will let you play the classic game as one of your favorite Star Wars characters, Grogu! Travel around the board, buying and selling Hideouts and Common Houses and following the actions on the Camotono cards and Bounty Puck cards. This is an amazing addition to any Star Wars fan’s toy collection!
• For your friend who’s obsessed with Grogu (we all have one!), this adorable 11-inch Star Wars The Mandalorian The Child Real Moves plush toy that includes motion and sound features is the perfect gift! It makes a Force-sensitive addition to any fan’s collection.
• Jam out to your favorite playlist with a Star Wars Bitty Boomers Bluetooth Speaker, a wireless Bluetooth speaker that is ultra-portable! Don’t be fooled though; what it lacks in size, it makes up for with mind-blowing sound. Tiny size. Huge sound.

For your Pixar pal:

• Disney’s new animated series, “Monsters at Work” has Mike and Sully running a new business and the mission is to create laughter. Get these Pops! for the “Monsters Inc.” fans you know, to create more laughter and happiness in their lives!

For the book worm:

In the 12th installment, “What Once Was Mine,” the question is asked: What if Rapunzel’s mother drank a potion from the wrong flower? Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story and her future than she ever knew.
• Craving a contemporary, escapist rom-com to get lost in over the holidays? You’re in luck!

Meant to Be: If the Shoe Fits tells the story of Cindy, who volunteers to be on a reality dating competition, in the hopes it will jump-start her fashion career. Turns out being the only plus-size woman makes a splash she didn’t expect, and she just might find inspiration—and love—in the process.
